exclusively for steam-cleaning water-
resistant and heat-resistant surfaces,
for example bathroom fittings, mirrors,
tiles, shower cubicles, and certain floor
coverings. Ask a specialist whether
your flooring is suitable for cleaning
with the steam cleaner. Always test the
cleaning at a small spot first.

• The device is not suitable for surfaces
which are sensitive to heat or moisture,
for example wallpaper, velvet, silk,
glued objects, unsealed and/or waxed
wooden surfaces, soft plastic, leather
and cold glass (with outside
temperatures of below 10°C).
• The device is not suitable for cleaning
electronic equipment and fragile
objects.
• The device is for personal use only and
is not intended for commercial
applications.
• Use the device only as described in the
instructions. Any other use is deemed
to be improper.

Safety Instructions
Dangers of Injury
• This appliance may be used by
persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of
experience or knowledge, provided
that they are supervised or instructed
in the safe use of the appliance and
that they fully understand the potential
hazards.

• The device should only be used and
stored out of the reach of children and
animals. Improper use can lead to
scalding and electric shock.
• Keep children and animals away from
the packaging film. There is a danger of
suffocation!
• Never aim steam directly at people,
animals or plants. This can cause
severe scalding.
• Only hold the device by the handle
when you are operating it. There is a
danger of scalding!
• Never leave the device unattended
when it is connected to the mains.

• Shortly after use, the attachment used
may still be very hot. You should
therefore wait for a few minutes until it
has completely cooled down before
you detach it.
• Danger of scalding! Always allow the
device to cool down completely before
you pour water in or out, clean the
device and/or store it away. Never
attempt to open the water reservoir
during use. Always make sure that the
water reservoir is firmly shut before you
use the device.
• Make sure that the connected mains

appliance safely and are fully aware of
the dangers involved.
• Cleaning and maintenance should not
be carried out by children unless they
are at least 8 years of age and are
supervised by an adult.
• Keep the appliance and its power cord
out of
reach of children under 8 years of age.

• When using electrical equipment,
safety precautions must always be
taken to prevent the risk of fire, electric
shock and/or injury in the event of
misuse.
• Make sure that the voltage rating on the
typeplate corresponds to your main
voltage of your installation. If this is not
the case, contact the dealer and do not
connect the unit.

poisonous and explosive fumes.
• Do not insert anything into the
openings of the device and make sure
that these do not become clogged.
Danger of Electric Shock
• The device should only be connected
to a properly installed plug socket with
safety contacts. The plug socket must
also be readily accessible after
connection. The mains voltage must
match the technical data of the device.

• Only use suitable extension cables
whose technical data is the same as
that of the device.
• Do not operate this appliance if it has a
damaged cord or plug, if it is not
working properly or if it has been
damaged or dropped. If the supply
cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer or its service agent
or a similarly qualified person in order
to avoid a hazard.
• This device must be earthed when
connected. Use only the appropriate
plug. Do not try to circumvent the
earthing.

• Never immerse the device in water or
other liquids! Ensure that the device,
the cable or the plug do not fall into
water or become wet. Should the
device fall into water, switch off the
power supply immediately. Only then
should you remove it from the water.
• Never touch the device, the cable or
the plug with wet hands to prevent
electric shocks.
• The steam must not be aimed directly
at electrical equipment, mains cables
or parts containing electrical
components (for example inside ovens,
fridges, switches and lights, microwave
ovens, screens).

• Pull out the mains plug after each use
before you remove/ change an
attachment, top up/empty the water
reservoir or clean the device. Always
pull the plug and never the cable.
• Use the device only in closed rooms.
• Always check the device for damage
before putting it into operation. Use the
device only when it is completely
assembled and operational. The device
must not be used if it has been
dropped, if obvious signs of damage
are visible or if it has leaks.
• In the event of damage/faults, switch
the device off immediately.

• Never try to repair the device, the
mains cable or the mains plug yourself
or replace parts. If defects occur, the
device may no longer be used. Get in
touch with the nearest customer
service centre/specialist dealer or, in
the event of damage, please contact
our customer service department.
Incorrect repairs may cause
considerable risks to the user.

Avoiding Damage to Material, Property
and the Device
• Position the cable in such a way that it
does not become squashed or bent
and does not come into contact with
hot surfaces.
• Only switch on the device when the
water reservoir is filled with water as
otherwise the water pump may be
damaged and the useful service life of
the device may be shortened.
• Do not place any heavy objects on the
device, the cable or the plug.
• Do not pull or carry the device by the
cable.

• Do not use any other accessories. Use
only original manufacturer's
accessories.
• Never pour any cleaning agent or other
chemical additives into the device. This
could destroy the device and safe
working is no longer guaranteed.
• Never cover up the steam outlet
openings and do not stick any objects
into them.
• Maintain a sufficient distance from heat
sources such as hobs or ovens in order
not to damage the device.
• Do not drop the device or allow it to be
knocked violently.

• Do not expose the device or
accessories to extreme temperatures,
wide temperature fluctuations, open
fire, direct sunlight, and do not expose
the device housing to any moisture or
wet conditions.
• Always try cleaning first at a small,
inconspicuous spot.
• Never direct the steam at one spot for
too long.
• Never use the device on cold glass
surfaces (at temperatures of below
10°C). The hot steam could cause the
glass to shatter.

• In the case of surfaces treated with
wax, the heat and steam may remove
the wax!
• Do not use any caustic or abrasive
cleaning agents (e.g. vinegar) or
cleaning pads to clean the device.
• Put the device back into its storage
position only once it has completely
cooled down and there is no more
water in the water reservoir.
• Store the device in a dry, clean place
that is not accessible to children and
animals.
